so for mcnabb and people like him, it doesn't much

matter. for some guys this is a big one. >> it means everything. this is the last chance to fulfill their dream of having an nfl career, young and old alike. final cuts in the nfl coming up on saturday. so tonight, the final audition for a lot of players. 22 guys will be trimmed from the roster. great competition going on. wide receiver and running back and even back-up quarterback for that matter. the issue may have resolved itself in terms of the quarterback position. lindsay czarniak is out there. they their could be some surprises in terms of cuts in positions as well. >> reporter: there really are. they will start going over the final cuts. they need to make the final 22 cuts tomorrow. i will be watching brandon bank who's has really impressed the coaches. they like what he can do on special teams. i will not be surprised if he edges out someone like a veteran

devin thomas. thomas is a guy who was disappointed because he hadn't been seen a lot in the past couple games. didn't play at all in the receiving core. so pay close attention. if he doesn't do anything to make waves, he could be gone from the roster. you mentioned the quarterback battle. we know mcnabb is not playing. rex grossman likely not playing at all. that leaves john beck and richard cartel. the curious thing is they find john beck to a contract extension yesterday. you would think that gives john beck the edge. beck, of course, is the guy that the redskins brought in here to try out because the fed coordinator kyle shanahan has been paying close attention to what beck could do since his days in college. he has been very, very impressed with that. so far, beck has gone nine of 18 for 103 yards. no touchdowns. no interceptions stoex redskins do like what they're seeing. but bartel has seen much less time. the time that he has been on the field, he really has made it count. outside the practice work, he's

gone three of five for 44 yards. the game winner against the jets. you might think because of that contract, he has the edge but both guys are trying to impress. >> would you like to think everything is riding on this game. i don't it is. i've been here since march. i have a lot of work on tape and this offense, i think they have a pretty good idea of what i can and can't do. certainly it would be the cherry on top type deal but i'm not going in putting all my eggs in this game. i want to go execute the offense. be the complete quarterback. >> they've been clear to us how it will happen in the game. so now it is prepare the best you can, play and have fun. that's really what it is about. you have fun, play your best. i don't try to look at too much. try to overthink the situation. just play football. john beck likely to get that start tonight here in arizona. and of course, rex grossman, you would think they're not playing him because of the chance that donavan might be more injured

than they think. everybody knows they will be starting that first regular season game against the cowboysful one more note. the honorary coin toss will be given by the redskins former line coach joe bugle, pretty cool, huh? >> he is living the good life out there in arizona. >> yeah. good stuff. thank you. >> he is. they've got ties to him here. >> absolutely. who doesn't love joe bugle? >> nobody. >> here, arizona. very interesting tid bit about devin thomas. here's a guy who thought he was going to be a starter going into the season and i think we all downplayed in the media the fact that he didn't play at all in that third game. that's the most important game of the preseason and now one of these young guys could edge him out. >> we've been waiting for him to come around for three years now. >> all right. baseball time. niger morgan turned last night's nationals/marlins game into a

steel cage match. that smallest player started a fight with the marlins' biggest player and didn't think twice about it. maybe it is because niger grew up playing hockey and he has always considered himself tough, or grimy, as he likes to put it. down in miami, max trailed 14-3. niger morgan's second at-bat. chris volstad drills him in the back side it was. payback for morgan's hard hit on the catcher. morgan takes the bait. then he steals second base. that's what he does. he is a little guy. he like to steal bases. apparently the marlins said it was bad baseball etiquette when you're down by 11 runs. he said then i'll steal third. he would later score in the sixth. the marlin threw behind him and let the steal cage match begin. a big punch and then a clothes line from gabby sanchez. check out this clothes line. takes him down. and in comes -- look at the

coach. he jumps on the pitcher, defending his player. he is 42 years old. make sure that nothing happened to his guy. volstad, a little bloodied up. he gets ejected. he was acting afterwards like he had been in the big mma match. the seven game suspension from another incident. now it could be more. here's morgan's take on the dust stop. >> just going out there, playing the game. and i guess they took at this time wrong way. they hit me the first time. so be it. but he hit two other of our guys. cool. then whistling another one. we have to go. just picking up for myself and defending my teammates and going out there and doing what i have to do. i'm a hard nosed player. i'm grimy and i just want to go throughout and just, just try to protect myself basically. >> in my opinion, you're going to get what's coming to you if you do that. and tonight, i think with the time we had to show him we wouldn't put up with the way he was treating us.

after last night, with you also with the way he is taking the bases up. he just, after he got hit. >> i think they were going to hit him again anyway. i'm glad he stole those bases. they hit him. he went to first base. he took his medicine. i don't know that yesterday's play was right or wrong. but we were going to let it go. and niger went to first base. if they hit you and you feel like you didn't do anything wrong, thats the way he felt about it. he took those bases. that's his business. we don't let anybody else decide. whatever the reason was for throwing at him again, i got no problems with what took place after that. jim riggleman on outfielder nigel morgan, likely going to hand down a ruling on the situation. no later than friday. so niger already waiting on a seven-game suspension.

he has appealed that. there could be more games here. and i just -- you don't condone fighting but i love the scrapiness of that guy. i love that he won't take any gruff from anybody. >> and you have to like riggleman though. this is not the first time that he has stood up for his players and said, maybe there was a little, may have gone this way, may have gone that way. he always stands up for his players. i think they have to appreciate that. >> i think jim has had some issues with him in the past. some of the thing he's done and called him out. this is a time they've certainly had his back. tennis, i know you've watched the match. he would advance. >> you know roger federer. i know that was not much of a match. >> an hour and 41 minutes. >> still ahead on our broadcast, >> still ahead on our broadcast, remembering a

so i told the guy i wanted yeah. a convertible. and this is what he had in my budget. aw! well, the top is down. the top is gone! lots of head room... tons of head room! --careful! that's sharp. jeez! yeah...sorry. narrator: settling for less is not smart. what is smart is getting more car for your money at carmax. guaranteed-quality used cars can cost a lot less than new cars. so you can get more car for less money by shopping at carmax. now more than ever, the smart choice is carmax. the way car buying should be.
